Mother currently in hospital for lung infection! I am terrified!

Mother currently in hospital for lung infection! I am terrified! 


So my mother has been suffering from a lung infection since last Sunday. She called the paramedics because she had shortness of breath and high fever. Her heart was ok then but there was something abnormal in her lung. She did some exams and found she had an infection. She consulted a doctor who merely suggested Chinese medicine and accupuncture! -.- 


Now she has been in the hospital since yesterday and it has spread to her heart. It’s inflammation. They don’t know the exact cause yet but they think it’s a bacterial infection so she’s on antibiotics. 


She’s not too bad but her breathing isn’t too great! I am absolutely terrified! She is only 73 but still!! I am already preparing myself for the worst!! Sure she messaged me a lot today which is a good sign, but I don’t want to be stuck in hope! 


And also, she lives in Brazil. The south which is more developed and richer but still, the system can be crazy which surely doesn’t help! I live in a different country!

She is at home now but unfortunately she is experiencing some kind of cognitive issues related to the side effects of the antibiotics. It’s similar to dementia!! And now I’m very terrified! The doctor doesn’t seem to be responding to phone calls either!
